Kara Walker's Installation Rebellion! (Our tools were rudimentary, but we continued.) Combine Harvester by Kara Walker
Walker's signature style was cut from a popular 19th-century portrait, the paper cut. It comes from silhouette figures. Her characters are often placed in surreal scenes dealing with violence and historical depictions of African Americans. Among these works is 85 Feet of Slavery. Slavery!
Walker's paintings truly depict contemporary racism and the social and economic inequalities that continue to divide America. More puzzles than books, these are complex, multi-layered works that slowly reveal their meaning over time.
Walker clarified that her intention as an artist was not to create compelling images or to pose questions with simple answers. She also explained her use of silhouettes, stating, "Silhouettes say a lot with very little information, but that's also what stereotypes do."
